Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
move the decimal point to the right untill you get a number less than or equal to 10. times it by 10 and put how many times you moved the decimal point for the power to multiply.
8.5x10x^5 (to the 5th power)
The length of the plant cell in scientific notation can be written as 8.5× 10⁻⁵ meters or 8.5e-5 meters.
What is scientific notation?
The way through which a very small or a very large number can be written in shorthand. In scientific notations when a number between 1 and 10s is multiplied by a power of 10.
How do scientific notations work?
The number is written in the form a×10ᵇ where we have 1≤a<10
The number b shows the order, which is the most important figure for which scientific notation is used. It tells us how much order large or small a value is in powers of 10. We can for a time, ignore the value of 'a' for two comparable quantities and only compare their orders(this type of comparison is useful when the difference is too big, like the size of a human to the size of a star etc sort of comparisons).
Given a plant cell has a length of 0.000085 meters. Therefore, the given number in scientific notation can be written as,
0.000085 meters.
= 8.5× 10⁻⁵ meters
= 8.5e-5 meters
Hence, the length of the plant cell in scientific notation can be written as 8.5× 10⁻⁵ meters or 8.5e-5 meters.
